Chapter 60 First Meeting

Meanwhile, Yu Ling greeted the resident senior cast members one by one.

With her sweet appearance and charming speech, she exchanged a few quick words with them before they let her go to her room to unpack.

There were a total of five resident guests: three men and two women.

The oldest male guest, Cui Wenyuan, was a veteran actor who had starred in countless mainstream television dramas and was truly the go-to leading man for state television.

Artists of the older generation were far more independent than those of today, possessing an abundance of practical life experience...

Perhaps upon seeing this news, my father was reminded of my death once again, plunging his thoughts into deep sorrow. I immediately darted to his side and licked his hand.

Then he strode away with his men, leaving the scene in utter chaos. Xibao and I were trapped inside the vehicle, with no way out whatsoever.

Tan Zongming expressed profound astonishment; this kind of irresponsible remark was not the attitude he was familiar with from Andy. Yet, putting himself in her shoes to think from the person concerned's perspective, what else could Andy do? She could either be selfish or self-destructive—those were the only two choices, with no third path available.

Win or lose, success or failure, he would stand by him. However, judging by the current situation, Mu Yingchen seemed to have the upper hand; after all, Xiao Ziting was there—the most crucial bargaining chip against Xiao Shiqing.

Pampering her was true, but given Sikong Yanhong's status as the lofty Prince Danyang, how could she ever dare to truly treat him as her own husband and do as she pleased?

At this thought, I tugged at the hem of her trousers. She glanced at me, then leaned down to whisper a few words into my ear. Afterward, I nodded; everything was left in her hands.

The person who had asked me during the day whether I had eaten lunch—why did they become so estranged by nightfall? What on earth had happened?

Startled, she recoiled by half a step, and her hazy, groggy state throughout most of the day finally cleared up completely.

Xie You seemed not to have anticipated her reaction to be so fierce, and for a moment, he looked at Lü Xining in sheer astonishment.

Tie Xingfeng was absent-minded and hadn't even eaten dinner. Hiding in his room, he racked his brains until his head ached, trying to figure out how to bid farewell to his dear younger sister Wan'er.

Yue Zi, however, gently shook his head, and Takeda Harunobu grew reassured as he began to lecture her in earnest.

I nodded, still too late to digest the joy of Monkey Brother's return, when my phone suddenly rang. Seeing that the call was from Gong Wei, for some reason, I was suddenly overcome by a very strange premonition. Hearing Gong Wei utter her very first sentence confirmed that feeling of mine.

It was conceivable that before setting out, the Second Madame Liang had made thoroughly meticulous arrangements—not a single truly valuable item remained in the residence. Naturally, she had taken all her portable valuables with her, while the heavy, hard-to-carry items were somehow stored elsewhere, leaving the Elder Master Liang to spend his silver to resolve the disaster for them, wasn't that right?

Across from them, Qin Wuyuan lowered his head, not daring to look at all, his face turning abruptly and intensely red.

"A heart surgery costs hundreds of thousands, where on earth am I supposed to get that kind of money!" Lin Ran cried out.

"Junior Brother, we've been very worried about you these past few days. Tell your Senior Brother, have you been to Biluo Manor before?" Bai Hengzhi asked very directly.

The human wall was positioned right inside the penalty area, a mere meter or so away from the penalty line. Ferman acted as if facing a formidable enemy, constantly calculating the opponent's potential shooting trajectories to choose the best defensive stance.

Then again, this didn't seem to be her forte either; normally, if she wanted to touch or kiss someone, she would have overpowered them long ago, and she would never adopt such a feinting, tender, and gentle style.

Every year during the Qingming Festival, Zhang Chong would take Zhang Ying and his apprentices back to his homeland to visit relatives and pay respects at the tombs, with Zhang Zhetian accompanying them as well. However, after transferring to Arsenal this year and becoming a professional athlete, he would probably only be able to offer blessings to his family in his heart each year from now on.

Matsuue Yoshimitsu's ambition to annex the Matsuue clan was known to all of them as retainers; hence, as retainers, they could not tolerate any external factor interfering with their lord's grand enterprise.
